Abstract: A valve assembly and a method of additively manufacturing the same are provided. The valve assembly includes a valve housing defining first and second mounting features, such as recessed dimples or protruding bumps, positioned on opposite sides of a substantially cylindrical channel to define a hinge axis. One or more valve flaps are positioned within the cylindrical channel, each valve flap including a hinge member extending along the hinge axis and defining two or more complementary features or coupling members for engaging either the mounting features of the valve housing or an adjacent hinge member.

Abstract: Load-bearing structures constructed from polymer matrix composite (PMC) materials, and processes for their production. The structures are produced from at least one shaped panel formed of a continuous fiber reinforcement in a thermoplastic resin matrix. The shaped panel has been thermoformed to have a substantially constant cross-sectional thickness and portions that lie in different planes and are interconnected by one or more bends. The shaped panel is machined to alter its shape, and optionally to produce multiple separate subcomponents therefrom. The machined shaped panel can constitute the entire structure, or the structure can be formed by joining the machined shaped panel with other shaped panels or by joining two or more of the subcomponents. The structure can be installed on an aircraft engine to secure components to the engine.
